Dear all,
Due to the present circumstances regarding the COVID-19 outbreak, and in
light of the policy of several universities to restrict non-essential
travel, we have made the decision to cancel this year's Dubrovnik
Conference on Cognitive Science.
At the same time, we would like to remind you that next year’s DUCOG will
go ahead as planned, and will take place in Dubrovnik between 20-23 May
2021.
We hope to see you in Dubrovnik in 2021!
Kind regards,
The DUCOG organising team

What is Time? Why is General Relativity Nonlinear?
(*) /György Szondy graduated as an electrical engineer at BME in 1995. Since
2000 he has been dealing with the fundamental questions of General Relativity
and its alternatives: scalar-tensor gravity, quantum gravity as well as
Satellite Navigation (GPS). He has several publications on the subject. As an
independent researcher, together with Wigner and BME researchers he takes
part in the high precision re-measurement of the Eötvös equivalence principle
(EPF experiment)./

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Social Mind Center cordially invites you to its talk by
Anna Ciaunica<http://www.annaciaunica.com/> (Principal Investigator at the Institute of Philosophy Porto; Research Associate at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London)

When the Window Cracks - Transparency and the Loss of Self in Depersonalisation and Meditation
Recent years have seen a resurgence of philosophical and scientific interest in the foundations of self-consciousness, with particular focus on its altered, disrupted forms. Specifically, the study of changes in sense of self - such as the phenomenon of selfless experiences or self-detachment - has attracted significant attention from philosophers and scientists alike. Here I contrast the phenomenon of self-detachment and selfless experiences in depersonalisation and Buddhist-derived meditative practices with focus on the property of "transparency" of subjective conscious experiences.
Depersonalisation (DP) is a profound disruption in the quality of subjective experiences which triggers alienating feelings of being a detached and disembodied observer of one's self, body and the world ('derealisation'). I argue that while meditative practice may enhance the underlying transparency of basic, embodied pre-reflective forms of self-consciousness, depersonalisation enhances the use of mentalistic hyper-reflective forms of self-consciousness.
I then present recent empirical findings from my lab exploring the relationship between the experience of DP and sensorimotor processing of self and other. Specifically, in Study 1 we used the Visual Remapping of Touch (VRT) paradigm to examine whether the tendency to experience DP is linked to disrupted integration of visual and tactile self-related information. Next we examined how disruptions of bodily self-consciousness in DP affects the experience of others in basic facets of social interaction, such as spontaneous facial mimicry. Specifically, in Study 2, we evaluated automatic mimicry in DP by using facial electromyography (EMG), which monitors electrical changes in muscle activity over the cheek and brow region.
These findings aim at providing a better understanding of how atypical multisensory integration processes may give rise to estranged, "zombie-like" and selfless states in DP but not meditation. I will conclude by defending the idea that the sense of self is a fundamental albeit "transparent" feature of self-conscious states that can be enhanced or disrupted but not "lost".
We are looking forward to seeing you at the talk!

Dear All,
This is just to let you know about the fusion of the two weekly seminars at
the Department of Logic at Eötvös University, known as LaPoM (Logic and
Philosophy of Mathematics) and TPF (Theoretical Philosophy Forum), under a
new title: Logic and Philosophy of Science Seminar (LPS).
Time and venue of the joint new seminar: Friday 4:15 PM, Room 224 (Múzeum
krt. 4/i).
Web site: http://phil.elte.hu/lps
The language of the seminar is English,.
The seminar has its own mailing list, identical with the earlier LaPoM
mailing list, with a new name LPS. The web page of the mailing list is
http://phil.elte.hu/lps-maillist
where you can subscribe/unsubscribe, etc. The posts are supposed to be sent
to lps(a)phil.elte.hu. Nevertheless, “lapom” is kept as an alias for “lps”, so
don't worry about sending posts, habitually, to the old address
(lapom(a)phil.elte.hu).
The program is also announced through the following mailing lists:
MaFLa (Hungarian philosophers' e-mail information system)
koglist (Discussion forum for researchers of cognitive sciences)
fizinfo, (Physical Society's mail group)
seminar(a)renyi.hu (mail group of Rényi Institute)
PhilStudents (Philosophy Students at Eötvös University)
For further information and the next weeks program please visit the web site
of the Seminar, or contact the organizers:

Title: " Processing symbolic numbers with the Discrete Semantic System "
Abstract:
Processing symbolic numbers with the Discrete Semantic System

The widespread Analog Magnitude System model suggests that many effects of basic number processing (such as the distance and the size effects in number comparison, or the number-space interference in parity decision) can be explained by an evolutionarily old, simple representation working according to Weber's law. In an alternative account, we propose that an entirely different architecture model, the Discrete Semantic System can also explain the very same phenomena in symbolic number processing. Additionally, we introduce several new phenomena that can be explained only by the newly proposed model, but not by the classic account.

We look forward to seeing you there!
